here in washington, d.c. interestingly, gracie's sister actually worked inside the white house as well but as a free woman. she wanted her sister to work in the white house as well and she recommended to andrew jackson that he go purchase her and he did. gracie bradley turned out to be -- he bought her is like a cook, but it turns out that gracie bradley and sub the the best that gracie- bradley ends up being the best seamstress that anyone had seen in that area and she became the master seamstress in the hermitage in tennessee. she ended up living out her whole life with the jackson family because her sister wanted her closer to her in the white house. other presidents, like john tyler did not want people to know that they were buying slaves. when you get to tyler, you are getting closer and closer to the civil war. they did not want people to know what they were doing. tyler would go out and hire a middleman who would go out and buy slaves and then transfer the slaves to tyler. tyler was so adamant that no

thomas: that is a criticism around washington. we don't do anything that doesn't benefit our members. and of course the organizations that support us would not do so if they did not think that our mission was going to be moved forward. over time, it is been about 80% individual support and 20% from corporations and associations. the vast majority of our support comes from individual taxpayers. why would we not want to fight against internet access taxes? there are companies that might benefit. we know exactly what we should be doing. brian: do you ever get tired? thomas: no. i have been doing it for a long time. i spent six years on capitol hill with senator fischer as i mentioned. i love going in there every day. we really tried to get things done that benefit the taxpayers. brian: here is one that goes way back to the senators golden fleece award. the federal aviation administration was named for spending $57,000 for a study of physical measurements for 432 airline stewardesses paying special attention to the length of the butto

washington, i will use the senate as an example, because i remember the names better. our politics has always been polarized. in 1966 andshington we were in the middle of the vietnam war. within a half dozen years, we would be involved in watergate, so things have never been smooth in washington. there were always, on the hill, a number of people both democrats and republicans, centerleft center-right who would reach across the aisle to get business done. they would pass appropriation bills, passed welfare reform, passed legislation to move the country forward. i called that body of people the bridge builders because they were building bridges across the aisle. the sad thing is, nearly all of those people are gone. the bill bradley's the bob bentsens, lloyd they were probably two dozen or more senators who were in that category and you could actually get things done. the committee chairs have real authority and when they committed to doing something, it would get done. most of those people are gone. they did not get defeated for the most part, they got leftrated and se

we need that in washington, d.c. we need a balanced budget amendment and we need to move towards a surplus again. i know how to do this. i did it as governor of state of florida. three similar reserves and were pretty high as we had line-item veto power and a used to 2500 separate times. me vetoled corleoni. i embrace it for some legislators but line items in the budget we called them turkeys instead of porkbarrel. we call them turkeys for some reason. i would take them out of the budget. there was a sigh of relief because they said i can go back home and say that i tried to get it done but the mean old governor was the guy that did not let it happen. i will happily i would love to take that responsibility in washington. the next president should have line-item veto power, to bring order and discipline to the budget. we did something no other state did, and now a few have done it. we eliminated lifetime employment protections for government. not to be punitive, but to make the point that government is the servant, no

people to rein in washington. my view is that movement will keep growing and growing. one of two things is going to happen, either congress will finally listen and send term a minute to the states for ratification, where we will see a movement in the states. one are the other, we will get it done. yes? hold on one second for the microphone. >> what is your plan for improving the infrastructure of america, including roads, bridges? whenever going to get the work on the ground in america? ted cruz: terrific question. one of the problems we have right now is taxpayers send money to washington. it goes into a black hole. i talked before about the 10th amendment. h amendment is what keeps decision-making close to the people. , for example, you talked about roads and bridges. there is no reason why the federal government should decide what roads and bridges to build in the state of new hampshire.

the gentleman from washington. mr. newhouse: thank you, mr. speaker. i would just respond that certainly there are many issues facing the congress today, many important things that we have to consider in many issue areas but that should not preclude us from addressing a very important issue and that's access to our national -- our federal lands by sportsmen, by hunters, by fishers. protecting the ability of americans to enjoy our natural abundance of federal lands i think is something our president roosevelt who the good lady from new york quoted would be very much in favor. certainly he was a proponent of enjoying those same federal lands. any efforts that we can put forth to make sure that we can continue those strong traditions of americans being exposed to the great outdoors in this country is something that we should do all we can to preserve. i might note, too, that this is a bipartisan-led effort in the house of representatives. passed in the last two congresses, many of the provisions of this bill have enjoyed

good evening from washington. welcome to "mrksz tp daily". we caught up with hillary clinton on the campaign trail a few minutes ago in south carolina. i'll bring you that in a few moments. first, we're going to start with the big story tonight. houston, we may have a problem. tonight's debate in houston, texas, could very well be the republican party's last shot at stopping trump before he steamrolls his way into super tuesday and towards the nomination. a new poll of super tuesday states that's just out from bloomberg politics has trump with a 17-point lead over rubio and cruz. carson and kasich are off the pace there. if you want a sense of the panic there, here's senator lindsey graham talking reporters about the prospects of trump facing off against hillary clinton. >> i am like on the team that bought a ticket on the tie tan tick after we saw the movie. this is what happens if you nominate trump. i think all the things that we care about are going to be locked in place, and she's going to get to pick supreme court nominees. so don't loo

i know a lot of politicians in washington. good guys and bad guys. i know liars in washington. but i will tell you, i know ted cruz. he is not a liar. his honesty is impeccable. his integrity is unshakable. and the last thing, you cannot beat a democrat with a democrat. if you think you are going to beat hillary clinton with somebody else who is for amnesty , because while ted cruz was saying we've got to build a wall, while ted cruz was saying you are not doing the gang of eight bill, donald trump was meeting with dreamers. donald trump was telling mitt romney he is too tough on mexico. he is saying these things now to get elected. but between planned parenthood and all the other things he's said he's going to do, you cannot beat a democrat with a democrat. he will lose in the general. for the first time since 1920, we have a true constitutionalist, somebody who will stand on that constitution, for the first time since 1920. if we don't forget our principles, if we as conservatives all across america realize this guy means what he says and says what he means, this guy is quite

establishment and the washington cartel. a candidate who was dismissed outright by the media, some called him 15 points to 20 tonts behind but you refused let the establishment and the cartel and the media do your thinking for you, you refused to let them how to vote. you wanted a candidate who did not adopt his positions because of the latest opinion poll. instead, because of a deep and underlying conservative philosophy the grounded him so he knew exactly what he believes, exactly what the principles were in this great nation. and so tonight, i want to say to the people of new hampshire, thank you for what you did 36 years ago, thank you for giving america and the world and yes, history itself, the 40th president of the united states ronald reagan.

when he got to washington, he said, what you bring to washington? he said, i guess arithmetic because we are going to make it at up for the american people. that is what happened. after eight years, 23 million new jobs. most importantly, and this is what i want you to hear because this is what we were able to accomplish and must do again. incomes went up for everyone. everyone. not just those at the top. middle-class families. working people. most importantly, because of my long advocacy on behalf of kids, we lifted more people out of poverty in those eight years than in any other recent time in american history. that matters. and we ended up with a balanced budget and surplus. i think that is not only a good record for bill clinton, that is a good record for the democratic party and what we stand for and what we can do together. now, i wish this were a story that continued to have happy chapters to it. but along came the republicans again. we must never, ever let anybody new hampshire forget that trickle down economics was a failure then and it wou

he was very much a social person on the washington scene. even though liberals disagreed with him, a lot of them respected him, especially justice ginsburg. they had a very close relationship even though they are on opposite ends of the spectrum. it was interesting to see the different reactions from democrats. i know you were reading from nancy pelosi's remarks, a gracious response to his passing. devout catholic frequently seen at st. joseph's on capitol hill, about a block from the u.s. supreme court. how important was his catholic faith to his life and also to his court rulings? guest: it was very important. he cited it regularly. his italian heritage as well as his catholicism. it was something near and dear to him. he had nine children. basically, when talking to andate people and friends also in his decisions, he would always talk about the family. his faith was very important to him and it was something that he talked about regularly. host: this is a photograph of in theily taken back 1980's when he was first appointed by president r

your colleagues in washington. if you are going to have a problem with them, what are you going to say to them as president to get them on board so that we can get legislation passed? >> it's a great question, robert, thank you for asking it. let me focus on two levels, let me explain how we actually change the direction in washington. it's not that i speak with a lack of civility or respect, you have seen in the presidential campaign as other people insult me, i don't respond in kind. i try very much -- the bible talks about if someone treats you unkindly, repay them with kindness. it's like heaping coals on top of their head. that is the standard i have tried to follow. i have not attacked my colleagues in the senate, democrat or republican. even if i disagree with them on the issues i'll tell you why they say ted is unlikable in washington. because i'm actually honoring the commitments that i made to the women and men who elected me. for example, on planned parenthood, i led the fight for us to use the budgetary

do you not want that for washington, d.c., as well? [applause] in the first place and take that skill is the department of veterans affairs. you have seen the atrocious waiting list of veterans coming home do not get care. last year the department came up with an idea, we will give out bonuses, $142 million of bonuses that went out to reduce the waiting list, which sounded like a worthy objective. vets died, and only three people have been fired. heads will roll when i am president of the united states. we will give veterans expanded choices where they can go to their private provider or private clinic or a local hospital. the best way to assure the department does a better job is to make sure veterans have other choices. it works in schools. it works across the board. giving people choices makes everybody better. we desperately need this to honor the dedicated service of men and women in uniform that come home and deserve to be in the front of the line, not the back of the line. here is the challenge. everybody has a lot of ideas. on

this is a socialist who caucuses with the democrats in washington. our anger, after all, fueled because our politics are broken and nothing gets done. how is he ever going to get anything done? >> brian, the system is rigged. i 100% agree with senator sanders on that and what people crave for them is somebody to fight for them. the working class and the middle class is wanting somebody to focus in on them. that's what sanders has been doing all his life. to the point of your question, how to get something done. even if a democrat wins today or tomorrow, the house and the senate remains the same. it will be hard for any democrat to get anything done and that's why this is not just about the 2016 election but really about 2018 and for the next president of the united states to work very hard to make sure they have tails so people running for the house of representatives and running for the senate so then we can get a senate and a house who can work with the next president of the united states of america. this is what this is about. so senator sanders h

too many people in washington are telling voters they're wrong, washington knows best, and what we have right now is a process where more people are helping decide our nominee. that's supposed to happen. for the washington post to sit here and criticize our side when you have a self-described socialist as a leading candidate for the democratic party. think about that. we're a capitalistic society. we're the most amazing country on earth, and they sit back and say, oh, it's no big deal that you have a socialist that wants to take this country in a vastly different direction. i don't really put too much stock in what the washington post editorial page has to say. >> you talked about the consolidated calendar. the rnc is doing it a little bit differently this time. how hard does it make it for candidates to come back if they fall behind early? after next tuesday they could be behind by a lot. it's hard to come back after that. >> with the rnc did this cycle is ensure proportionality. when you win a state right now, the phase up until march 15th is proportion proportional. it's only 10 of t

let's talk about this with cnn senior political reporter who is in washington. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell was quick to say he didn't think the president should nominate a replacement for scalia. president obama vowed he will nominate someone quickly. how long could the process drag out? >> quite sometime if you look at histor historical, typically they take 67 days on average. the longest when robert -- nomination was rejected three decades ago. that took 108 days. this is poised to smash that record. we are looking at right now mcconnell saying the president should not nominate anyone. if he sticks to his demand and decides not to allow a confirmation vote on the senate floor and if they deny a confirmation hearing in the senate, judiciary committee it is certainly likely there will be no nominee confirmed this year. that means it will drag on to the next presidency. it could take two or three months in the next administration. we can look for more than year. the question is whether or not political pressure will force republicans to change. >> i'm

clinton: in the campaign, you read a lot about washington and wall street. we also want to get unaccountable money out of politics, which starts with appointing a new supreme justice to the court. [applause] sec. clinton: who will protect the right of every citizen to vote, not every corporation to buy elections. and we also agree that wall street can never be allowed to threaten mainstreet again. no executives should be too powerful for jail. if we listen to the voices of flint, and ferguson, if we open our hearts to the families, if we listened to the openhearted of hard-working people across america, it is clear there is so much more to be done. the truth is, we are not a single issue country. [applause] sec. clinton: we need more than eight plan for a bank, the middle class needs a raise. we need more jobs. we need jobs that can't be outsourced, jobs of dignity and a future. we can do this by unleashing the innovation of our entrepreneurs and small businesses. we can do this with new infrastructure, and clean energy, especially here in nevada.

establishment and the washington cartel. a candidate who has been dismissed outright by the media, some polls had him 15 to 20 points behind, but you refused to let the establishment and the cartel and the media do your thinking for you, you refused to let them tell you how to vote. you wanted a candidate who didn't adopt his positions because of the latest opinion polls. but instead because of a deep and underlying conservative philosophy that grounded him so that he knew exactly what he believed, exactly what the principles were that built this reat nation. so tonight i want to say to the people of new hampshire, thank you for what you did 36 years ago. thank you for giving america and the world, and, yes, history itself, our 40th president of the united states, ronald wilson eagan. and i ask the people of new hampshire and the people of south carolina and the people of nevada and the people of the super tuesday states on march 1, to each of you do not listen to our words. do not listen to the rhetoric from campaigns, but

i don't know how many conservative voters will say ted cruz washington insider when the constant washington insiders bob dole and trent lott and others are saying we don't like ted cruz, we can't stand him, we won't vote for him. you can't have it both ways. i think the difference between trump and cruz is this. they both have set it up this year to put the establishment flat on its back. the twoun tag team of trump and cruz. however, one is talking about taking on the washington accomplishme establishment and one's gone there and done it. >> but why change your tactics if you're winning? why would donald trump change and give specifics about things or change his campaigning when he's winning? >> he won't. >> kellyanne, i've got to disagree with you because this collection it's not about who's more conservative, which is what we typically see in a primary. this election is about who is more of an outsider. and for donald trump that means going after ted cruz and saying ted cruz took wall street money. i agree with you ted cruz is a great candidate, we'd be lucky to have him, he's the second

little marco rubio is another washington politician that is all talk and no action. and the florida senator hit back making fun of trump's unusual tan and says what is trump's small hands. >> he doesn't sweat because his hands are clogged from the spray tan he uses. donald is not going to make america great. he's going to make america orange. he is always calling me little marco. he is 6'2", which is why i don't understand why his hands are the size of someone who is 5'2". you know what they say about men with small hands. you can't trust them. you can't trust them. >> and new signs of republican panic in washington overnight. what might be called a disendorsement from senator ben sass. in a lengthy facebook post, he writes if trump wins the nomination, he will not vote for him. >> he is hugely popular. he campaigned all over iowa against trump. now he says he is in the never trump camp. he will not vote for trump if he is the nominee. interesting to see that. interesting to see how the party responds. >>> hillary clinton is campaigning fresh off her huge victory ove

e-mail testimony could rattle -- it is on the first page of washington post and washington times -- hillary clinton should be questioned under oath about her use of a private e-mail server as secretary of state. host: we will go back to calls. brian, democrat, louisiana. caller: good morning. are that i think republicans are obstructionist and i think there is a lot to what they have to say about undertones of races. i think it is consciously and effort that republicans make to prey on people's fears. they wave the constitution all the time, yet, when it comes to selecting the next supreme court justice, they are ignoring the constitution. host: let's get the response to that charge. guest: first of all, i do not believe it is correct to say we are ignoring the constitution when we talk about how we handled the supreme court nomination. supreme court nominations in the united states are set up in a fashion where the person who was nominated, but you go to the senate for advice and consent. they can nominate but not the point. the senate, by simply saying it is up to them to make a decision,

, they don't like you in washington. and if you want to be liked in washington, that's not a good attribute for president. >> here's a man, robin hood over here. he talks about corruption. on his financial disclosure form, he didn't even put that he borrowed money from goldman sacks and he didn't talk about that he pays no interest and now he's goeing to protect people from the big bad banks. give me a break. >> governor kasich. the idea -- i want to quote you now. . the idea that we're going to deport all these people is ludicrous and everybody knows it. should people be allowed to break the law just because it's not feasible to stop them? >> look, we have a great president here, george bush, 41st president of the united states. he work would ronald regan to pass an effort to try to solve this problem. a path to legalization. you see that was a time when things worked. when president regan and george bush decided we needed to make the country work. look, i think there is a answer here. you complete the border. you let p
